Feb 29, 2024

Vedanta Aluminium has launched a 'Jeevika Samriddhi Project', a sustainable agriculture initiative, for farmers in Jharsuguda district, Odisha. The project will be impacting over 400 farming households in its initial phases, as per the reports.
The project sets its sights on an additional 500 households in Parmanpur, Kumudapali, and Dalki villages. Focusing on smart agricultural practices, the initiative aims to uplift and empower rural communities.
In its current phase, the project introduces sustainable solutions, including pond restoration, solar pumps for reliable irrigation, and modern micro-irrigation methods.
 
Till now, the improved irrigation facilities have enabled farmers to engage in year-round cultivation, reducing dependency on rainfall. Solar irrigation systems in existing bore wells, implemented in Phase III, augment infrastructure, supporting the cultivation of various hybrid vegetables.
 
Agri-allied activities like pisciculture provide additional income sources, integrating fish farming with traditional agriculture for optimal land utilization.
Comprehensive training and exposure visits will empower farmers with knowledge in climate-smart agriculture practices and modern technological interventions.
